Five Star / Five * Bootlegger -style repro jacket, 46

[Wardo1974]

This jacket was my first attempt at a custom sized jacket. I've decided to sell as it's not as trim as I'd prefer it to be. It would be great for layers, but I wanted it a little tighter, so I actually ordered another, but smaller. I basically asked 5* to make me an Aero Bootlegger that has zip sleeves.

This is Five Star's "CXL" steer leather they've been working on. It is thick and robust. I wore it this summer indoors as I worked, so while a great deal of it is broken in, it's not quite there yet for a complete break in. Actually wearing it outdoors is probably a good idea as well to make it more supple - I've never left the house in it.

Sizing:
Shoulders: 20.5"
Back: 27
Across bottom: 21
P2P: 24
Sleeves, from shoulder seam straight to cuff: 26

It has cotton drill lining, sateen sleeves, antique brass hardware.

The fit pics I attached are how it looked the day I got it, and the others are now it appears today. For reference I am 6'1", 215.

The jacket cost me $400 USD, I am selling for $250+ shipping.

Hi Wardo, if you had to guess, what would you say the leather weight is? Thick as VANSON comp weight? Thx!

 

[Wardo1974]

I'd say yes. It's a thick jacket, even on the heavy side.

A great transaction with Wardo! This is some seriously thick CXL Moo! Much thicker than even my Aero. I was very impressed with the quality of 5-star. Thanks!

Glad you like it, man. I actually ordered another with the same leather, just slightly smaller. 5 Star makes some good stuff.
